Publisher's summary

The welcome return of Leonid McGill, Walter Mosley's NYC-based private eye, his East Coast foil to his immortal LA-based detective Easy Rawlins. As the Boston Globe raved, "A poignantly real character, [McGill is] not only the newest of the great fictional detectives, but also an incisive and insightful commentator on the American scene."

In the fifth Leonid McGill novel, Leonid finds himself in an unusual pickle of trying to balance his cases with his chaotic personal life. Leonid's father is still out there somewhere, and his wife is in an uptown sanitarium trying to recover from the deep depression that led to her attempted suicide in the previous novel. His wife's condition has put a damper on his affair with Aura Ullman, his girlfriend. And his son, Twill, has been spending a lot of time out of the office with his own case, helping a young thief named Fortune and his girlfriend, Liza.

Meanwhile Leonid is approached by an unemployed office manager named Hiram Stent to track down the whereabouts of his cousin, Celia, who is about to inherit millions of dollars from her father's side of the family. Leonid declines the case, but after his office is broken into and Hiram is found dead, he gets reeled into the underbelly of Celia's wealthy old-money family. It's up to Leonid to save who he can and incriminate the guilty - all while helping his son finish his own investigation; locating his own father; reconciling (whatever that means) with his wife and girlfriend; and attending the wedding of Gordo, his oldest friend.

I hope Walter is writing the next one

I love this character and by far Leonard Mc Gill and his son Twil are the most interesting I have seen in years. Would love to see a spin off book of Twil taking center stage. So Walter put down whatever you are writing and please give us another Mc Gill book!!

Imaginative!

My father hipped me to Walter Mosley's Easy Rawlins series back in the late 1990's. Mr. Mosley does not disappoint w/ Leonid McGill's character. The story lines keep me wanting more!

Classic Walter Mosley

Would you consider the audio edition of And Sometimes I Wonder About You to be better than the print version?

Yes, because the voice of the reader adds more breath and more life to an already first rate story.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Not really on the edge of my seat, but very very interested, and I did think about the plot when I wasn't listening.

Excellent...

Mosley has outdone himself AGAIN, LT is one bad dude! Hell of a novel, and the narrator, Prentice Onayemi, is number one. One question, will LT & Easy ever meet in a Mosley novel?
